Ratification of American Single Malt Category – Lost Lantern Malt Whiskey News
“We at Lost Lantern, as passionate advocates and independent bottlers of American whiskey, are thrilled to witness the historic ratification of American Single Malt Whiskey as an official style of whiskey recognized by the U.S. federal government. We have long thought that American Single Malt is one of the most exciting and exceptional styles of whiskey in the entire world, and this long-sought recognition will dramatically boost the category’s visibility with whiskey lovers all around the world. We especially applaud the hard work of the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission and our many American Single Malt distillery partners for their tireless efforts to reach this milestone.
This monumental recognition not only honors the rich heritage and uniquely innovative character of American distilleries, but also heralds a new era of innovation and excellence in whiskey-making. And for our part, we look forward to continuing to help whiskey lovers discover the finest examples of American Single Malt from all across the United States.
We encourage all whiskey lovers to pick up a bottle of American Single Malt and to raise a glass with us to welcome this style of whiskey to the American whiskey pantheon.”
